Meet the Artist: @nyangjinart

Hi everyone! My name is Jin (she/her) and I’m a Korean American artist from NYC. I love drawing magical retro aesthetic art and cute animals that are colorful and vibrant. Art has been my comfort zone and passion for as long as I can remember, so I hope that my art can give that sense of comfort and nostalgia for others! I would have never thought my art journey would bring me to such a community of vast people who also love what I love, so I hope that I can make more connections!

Nice to meet you, Jin! Below are some pieces she has picked out for you all.

Check out more of Jin’s work over at her Tumblr, @nyangjinart!

Meet the Artist: @kiisaes

Hi there, I’m Min / Becki (any pronouns)! I like drawing both fan and original art! I’m primarily a cartoonist and illustrator, and I aim to craft narratives that are fun and entertaining but also speak to the human condition. Comics are my one true love; I adore reading and making them, but also nerding out about the technical stuff like paneling, lettering, thumbnailing… You know, the stuff no one cares about. I post my comics on tumblr, and I have a longer comic in the works that you can check out at @chimerakingdom, if you’re interested!
In my free time, I like to draw (duh), play pirated DS games on my PC, read comics / manga, and hang out with my friends. I have several Kirby and shrimp plushies, but what I really want is a cat I can call some silly name like Bread.

Pleased to meet you, Min! Below are some pieces they have picked out for you all to appreciate.

For more of Min’s work, be sure to check out their Tumblr, @kiisaes!

Meet the Artist: @jovaline

Hi, my name is Arielle, and I’m a Filipina-American freelance illustrator, comic book artist, and writer! As a long-time theater kid, I love drawing characters with emotionally specific facial expressions and body language, and designing fun outfits and sets for them to live in. I take a lot of inspiration from vintage illustrations, fashion, musicals, and books. You might know my work from my graphic novels Black Star, Evil Thing: A Villains Graphic Novel, or most recently Girl Taking Over: A Lois Lane Story. It’s equally possible you’ve seen my work floating around here on Tumblr because I’ve been on this platform for 12 years!! Thanks so much for taking a look~ :)

Pleased to meet you, Arielle! Below is some of her work that she has picked out for you all to appreciate.

For more of Arielle’s work, be sure to check out her Tumblr, @jovaline!

Meet the Artist: @joshualunacreations

Hi, I’m Joshua and I’m a professional comic book writer and artist. I co-created three series at Image comics: UltraGirls, and The Sword. After I went solo with my Image series Whispers, I started making online comic strips exploring my Filipino/Asian American identity and experiences. What began as a side project and organic outlet to process my thoughts and feelings turned into a seven-year journey that continues to this day.
The more I write and draw, the more I realize I have to say—especially with the sharp increase in anti-Asian violence against AAPI and the institutional censorship that prevents us from addressing it adequately. I was told by my publisher that I wasn’t talking about AAPI issues in the “right way” because I tackle difficult, complex, and painful truths about Asian America. Despite these barriers, I’m determined to collect these strips into a book and publish them as Americanizasian. In the meantime, you can follow and share my work online and support me by pledging to my Patreon or donating to my PayPal.
Happy APAHM!

Pleased to meet you, Joshua! He has shared some of his comics below for you all.

Hi, I’m Gee and I’m a mixed Pacific Islander artist, writer, and musician! While I dabble in fanart, I’m mostly dedicated to developing my fantasy-drama webcomic, To Kill, To Serve. If you’re interested in stories about maids, butlers, political conspiracies, forbidden magic, family, and bird people, follow the development of my story @radioindie! When I’m not writing or drawing, I’m usually reading books, comics, and manga. (And I’m never not listening to music.)
